Annual Make-A-Wish convoy returns to Mother’s Day
The annual Make-A-Wish Mother’s Day Truck Convoy in Pennsylvania returns to its traditional weekend this year after being delayed to later in the year last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year’s 100-truck convoy will include the top 30 drivers who raise the most money for the Philadelphia, Delaware and Susquehanna Valley Make-A-Wish chapter, key sponsors, and drivers who commit to fundraising at least $500.
The drivers will leave Manheim Pennsylvania Auto Auction at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 9. Make-A-Wish will be broadcasting the convoy live on their Facebook page for fans to watch at home. Facebook Live will include drivers departing the parking lot, a view from inside a special Convoy driver’s truck, and a location along the route. There will not be a convoy carnival, and the Manheim Pennsylvania Auto Auction will not be open to the public.

The Weather Channel 3/15/2021 Jonathan Erdman
Winter Storm Xylia has become the eighth storm since September to shatter major snowfall records in what has otherwise been a mild winter season overall in most of the United States.
Xylia buried Cheyenne, Wyoming, with 30.8 inches of snow March 13-14. Of that total, 22.7 inches fell on March 14, alone, which set a new record for the heaviest calendar-day snowfall in more than 135 years of weather records in the Wyoming capital, topping a 19.8-inch total from Nov. 20, 1979.
Although not a record, Xylia was the fourth-heaviest snowstorm on record in Denver (27.1 inches).

About a century ago, the city of Worcester published annual guide books detailing information about the community.
Flipping through one of the books recently, it reminded City Manager Edward Augustus Jr. of Worcester’s inflated population nearly 100 years ago.
“It had a chart of the population,” Augustus said. “I was looking at the early part of the 20th century, we had a number of years where the city’s population was 196,000, it was higher then. We were over 200,000 in different periods.”
